Proof is an opinion? Then my entire existence is a lie! Nooo! *sob*
I know a lot of people who would disagree with this opinion. A proof, as opposed to theory or conjecture, is irrefutable within a given system; most opinions are comparatively weak in their support. A system, of course, must be built on some kind of assumptions or axioms.
One 'proof' I hear a lot is this: The universe came from somewhere, something. If we assume that conservation of energy holds, then all matter and energy currently in the universe has existed, in one form or another, since the beginning of time - we cannot obtain a universe from nothing. Where did all matter and energy originate from? If you claim the big bang, where did that originate from? We continue in a similar fashion until we reach a 'beginning' - at this point, we must show the original creation of all energy.
What do you think of that?
